Control strategy and research on energy storage unit participation in power system frequency regulation based on VSG technology

Abstract

When large-scale photovoltaic power plants are integrated into the grid, it will cause the grid-connected capacity to gradually expand, causing greater harm to the safe and stable operation of the power system, which will affect the FM characteristics of the power system. This requires the PV power plant to actively participate in power system frequency control. Through the PV virtual synchronous generator frequency control technology, coupled with the virtual synchronous PV power plant modeling, the PV new energy units can have the same frequency control characteristics as synchronous generator sets. In the virtual synchronous technology, due to the existence of damping windings, electromagnetic damping will be generated, and it is also due to virtual damping that the virtual synchronous technology has the ability to damp power oscillations. It is also because of the excellent virtual inertia and damping characteristics of the virtual synchronous generator in the grid that this FM technology helps to regulate the frequency fluctuations of the new energy grid, meet the requirements of the power system to maintain stable operation, and then realize the large-scale PV grid connection.
